Hubbo Posted December 6, 2018 (edited) Hello, I am new here, this is my first post, and my english isnt perfect, so sorry for any mistakas ;) I was worked on this project for long time (its still not finished...), and now I can show some pics. Its cabin from Arocs 42043, but all the rest is my design ( I would like to notice, theres some designs, from people on youtube, this forum etc, because if something is good, I dont want to invent it a second time :D ) Soo... TRUCK Cabin has suspension - rubber blocks Drive - 6x4 - XL motor Steering - Ackerman system - Servo motor Suspension - Front - Solid axle on leaf springs (this springs are made by Efferman, you can buy this parts on Shapeways) -Rear - Solid axles on leaf springs and air assist ( system, that minimizes stress, works like tandem-axles, air pistons are connected all together, so if one axle is going up, second axle is going down without pressure change) You can change height of rear axle/rear part of truck, like real one) 2x air connections for trailer 1x connection for trailer engine TRAILER (its not perfect, I want to use power from truck, so theres no battery box etc) Suspension like in truck, but no air assist Detach deck by pins, they are moved by air piston I will rebuild it, because I want make it better. any Q just post it, if You want more pics etc i will try to make it for You. I have no instructions, because I like to build like "sit & build" no programs, projects etc, but, i will try to help, if someone want ;) PHOTOS > https://bricksafe.com/pages/Hubbo/ Edited December 6, 2018 by Hubbo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ukbajadave Posted December 7, 2018 Nice work Am I correct in thinking the linear actuators on the trailer are connected by an axle to the cab unit? I guess the large LA is to drop the bed but what is the function of the small LA underneath? I look forward to seeing a video of all the functions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hubbo Posted December 7, 2018 Trailer has L motor inside, and a gearbox, so You have to connect only a cable to truck. LA is for lowering bed, small is moving the arm for suport, when You disconnect bed ;) i will make a movie soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Attika Posted December 7, 2018 Looks pretty good to me. Two questions: Isn't the servo motor stressed by not reaching 90 degrres? Is that XL motor attached to the differential frame only? Welcome on board anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im using pilot 8879, so im turning to the max of limit of the construction and thats it ;) Yup, XL is connected to the frame only, and its working excellent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
